GGI Launches a Vandal Resistant Keypad to the Marketplace

GGI launches the new High-Impact PushGate, the perfect solution for switches that are subject to daily abuses and vandalism. This new construction is ideal for ATMs, Gas pumps, POS, etc.

Montreal, Quebec - GGI International, technology leaders in membrane switch & graphic overlay solutions, launches Canadas first vandal resistant keypad at Montreals Quebec Electronics and Technology Show September 12th and 13th, 2002. Never before has the Canadian membrane switch keypad market seen the possibilities present with this new High-Impact switch. As the exclusive Canadian licensee of Duraswitch® technologies, GGI can now offer the perfect solution for keypads that are often subject to abuse and vandalism. This new switch construction, named the High-Impact PushGate", incorporates a layer of rubber covering the top of the basic PushGate construction to prevent damage to the switch. This new High-Impact PushGate, is comprised of the standard switch construction, a rubber layer and a graphic overlay. This design maintains a unique, crisp, consistent, tactile feel, which is easily environmentally sealed.

This new construction was developed because the market place required a switch that could withstand everyday abuses, for example the actuation of a control panel by a gas nozzle, car keys or simply rough, repeat use. The High-Impact PushGate is the answer manufacturers are looking for.

Manufacturers will be attracted to the new High-Impact PushGate because it means less down time which translates into higher levels of efficiency, reliability and profitability", said Ian Graham, Co-President of GGI International. The market is looking for innovation, quality and products that push the limits, and that is what we are providing."

The High-Impact PushGate is a perfect solution for gas pump controls, ATMs, security entrance keypads, industrial controls, kiosks, car washes, POS, exercise equipment, farm implements, etc. GGI strives to fulfil the markets need for customised front panel interface solutions, and the High-Impact PushGate is yet another example of GGIs commitment to supply innovative solutions to its clients" said Peter Graham, Co-President GGI International.

GGI will be exhibiting the new High-Impact PushGate at TEQ/Assembly Quebec, September 12th and 13th, 2002 at Place Bonaventure, booth # 501, where manufacturers can come and experience this new switch construction for the first time.
